I am looking for the bezel that goes over the gauges that has the lettering on it. Mine is pretty cruddy but will work for now. It’s for a 57-61? Ford truck.

 

I don't if those parts are available anywhere.
If you have no success there, you might need to do some dressing up by hand.

 

i appreciate it. I figured that was the case. Hoping the lettering will hold up to some light scrubbing with soap and water

 

If you are open for some suggestions,

What if you used/applied something like wood grain contact paper to the base portion and then used a small brush and some chrome paint from a spray can and carefully touched up the circular rings around the gauges/speedo. I believe each individual gauge is removable from the face panel and that would make applying the contact paper a little easier and final trimming and maybe a coat of clear gloss. You may have some other ideas and we would like to see your finished product, if you would, thanks.

 

Anyone know how this amp gauge worked? It seems it just had a wire pass through the loop? Assume it picked it up through the casing.

 

I believe they were called a shunt type meter.where it ran a parallel circuit , but did not carry the full load as a series amp meter would..

 

Painted the mounting plate in ford white and cleaned up the gauges some.

Overlay is what it is for now. I have a friend looking at producing some decals to stick on for me. It has been done by others in the past but not with the numbers.

 

Thanks for the update, starting to take shape.Lookin good !
